Call me old fashioned.... I just take the back end of the car apart. I've tried the pull 'em out from under trick, but... ahh, my aggrivation factor is less when I pull the back end of the car apart... plus, it really freaks out the sales guys, which is another bonus!

Older volvo's are nice, except getting into the doors through the boot, that sucks, you have to remove the fuse panel in the drivers kick to get at the hole.

97 cavaleir door panels are relatively easy to get off, that's always nice.

Getting ready to dig into a 97 volvo 850 sedan, to install the volvo CD changed to the stock head unit, anything i should know about taking apart the interior? I have to run the controler cable, but is there already power i can hook into in the trunk?

I just finished a 02 Jetta. Wasnt all that hard. When you have the right guys showing you little tricks along the way and finding out some of your own, it makes working on the car interesting.

nope, 2 minutes to remove rear deck cover, 30 seconds to remove rear speakers, 10 minutes to swap with new speakers (using factory brackets) 5 minutes to wire connectors to factory wiring, 2 minutes to reinstall rear deck cover. 30 seconds to extract body from back of small car.

Never had a least favorite until yesterday. 01 Firebird Ram-Air convertible with WS7 option package. Remote start/Alarm and windows up and down. Oh yeah, it was a 6 speed. I was 10-15 seconds away from commiting Hari Kari for almost 9 hours. But the look on this guys face when he saw his pride and joy's interior stripped like a chop shop was priceless.

If it don't fit, Force it.

If it breaks, You needed a new one anyway!
